Drivers in Midtown Atlanta could face steeper fines for overstaying their welcome at hundreds of parking meters operated by ParkAtlanta, according to legislation set to be considered by Atlanta’s City Council.
The private company that runs Atlanta’s on-street parking program wants a larger and more predictable stream of revenue. Residents and visitors want relief from what some describe as hyper-aggressive parking enforcement.
